SUMMER WHITES FOR 4th of JULY

Looking for something refreshing to serve at your 4th of July BBQ? We recommend the perfect summer white, Sauvignon Blanc - (So-vin-Yawn-Blonk).

This dry white wine grape offers distinctive flavors of citrus fruit melon fig herbs and sometimes grassiness.  Typically light crisp and full of fruit originally from France it now thrives through out the new world in California New Zealand and Chile.

There are three distinctive flavor profiles and styles that one will recognize when tasting this white wine.  

The fruity style which often has no oak influence boast loads of citrus fruit like grapefruit and lemon flavors.

Grassy... think aromas of fresh cut grass and flavors if fresh herbs.

The last category is oak aged creating a creamier style hinting smoke and vanilla.

We love the slighter style of this perfect summer white pairing perfectly with:
Fruity: Shrimp,scallops,mussels
Grassy: Grilled vegetables, soft cheese, pate'
Creamy: Grilled chicken, tuna steaks, sharp hard cheese, artichokes
